People Are Sharing The Most Insufferable Celebrity Memoirs They’ve Ever Read

Recently, I asked the BuzzFeed Community about the worst celebrity memoirs they’ve ever read — books that were so bad, they low-key started hating the author.

Here are 18 of their top responses:

Some responses are from this Reddit thread.

1. “Suck It, Wonder Woman!: The Misadventures of a Hollywood Geek by Olivia Munn. Her memoir randomly includes her thoughts on fat people, which are cruel and uncalled for. I’ll only ever be able to see her as a mean girl after reading it.”

2. “I made the mistake of reading Candace Cameron Bure’s first memoir, Balancing It All: My Story of Juggling Priorities and Purpose, because I loved Full House growing up. It just felt very hypocritical and holier than thou, which, looking back, makes sense, given the direction she’s taken.”

3. “I read Shane Dawson’s two memoirs, I Hate Myselfie and It Gets Worse, during the height of his YouTube fame. Excuse after excuse for his past poor behavior. It does get worse indeed.”

4. “Ina Garten’s memoir, Be Ready When the Luck Happens, had this really weird, smug, overly confident vibe. I couldn’t read the whole thing — not at all what I was expecting from her!”

5. “Controversially, Bossypants by Tina Fey was kinda reductive.”

6. “Matthew McConaughey’s recent one, Greenlights. No words… I was a big fan before I read the book, but it’s very poorly written. Like, there are basically three introductions just saying the same thing (which is the whole ‘green lights’ thing. We get it, you’re privileged). Himbo is definitely the vibe, but, like, he believes he is Socrates…bless.”

7. “This Will Only Hurt a Little by Busy Philipps. Extremely privileged, HELLAAAAAAA dramatic, whiny, etc. It was the most selfish, least self-aware memoir I’ve read in a long time.”

8. “I had a crush on Shay Mitchell and bought her ‘semi-autobiographical novel,’ Bliss [Speaking to Elle Canada, Shay described the book as ‘loosely fictional’ and ‘like a heightened version of our reality.’ It was co-written with her best friend, Michaela Blaney]. To say it was thinly veiled would be an insult to actually thinly veiled things. She named her main character Sophia Marcus, who’s a Canadian just like herself, and it only got worse from there. She tried to maintain her own reputation and acknowledge past bad behavior even as she wrote about how much the characters (if you can call them that) enjoyed their lifestyles.”

11. “Using the term ‘celebrity’ SUPER loosely here, but I read Cazzie David’s first essay collection, No One Asked For This: Essays. The writing itself wasn’t bad, but mainly, she just seems like an absolutely insufferable person to be around. She was simultaneously complaining about being a celebrity’s child while also wanting the perks of being a celebrity’s child. Though she also wrote about how annoying her sister is, and honestly, she seems worse, somehow.”

12. “A Very Punchable Face by Colin Jost is bad. He just didn’t have enough life experience for a memoir, and it’s so boring.”

13. “I love trash TV and wasn’t expecting much, but Next Level Basic: The Definitive Basic Bitch Handbook by Stassi Shroeder was a complete joke….. like, an insult to the publishing industry.”

15. “Face the Music: A Life Exposed by Paul Stanley, aka the Starchild of KISS. He is, without question, one of the most miserable people on the planet. The man has had one of the most amazingly successful careers in rock music, and absolutely none of it makes him happy.”

16. “Lauren Bacall: By Myself and Now by Lauren Bacall. She came across as enormously smug and entitled.”
